Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDon Tregonning is a platform and customer-success focused cloud engineering leader based in San Francisco with over a decade of hands-on experience building and scaling data integrations and cloud-native services. He has progressed from application architect and professional services roles to senior engineering and management positions at Splunk where he led large cross-geo teams, drove major cloud integrations ingesting petabytes of data, and boosted release velocity and bug resolution metrics substantially. Currently leading Platform Excellence at Articul8 AI, he blends technical ownership of cloud add-ons and connectors across AWS/Azure/GCP with customer advocacy and operational rigor. Don is especially skilled at turning complex third-party integrations into repeatable, production-grade solutions and has a track record of influencing multimillion-dollar deals through open integrations and strategic architecture. He pairs deep systems experience (from POS and web migrations to Kubernetes and Kafka connectors) with a talent for coaching distributed teams and improving delivery processes. An interesting through-line in his career is repeatedly scaling environments—from migrating 100+ workloads at Woolworths to overseeing integrations with thousands of installs—demonstrating both technical breadth and operational impact.
